Overview

EN 13565-1:2019+A1:2025 (CEN) specifies requirements and test methods for components used in fixed firefighting foam systems. The standard covers materials, construction, performance and documentation for components intended to work with foam concentrates conforming to EN 1568‑1 to EN 1568‑4. It was approved by CEN (amendment A1 approved April 2025) and is intended for harmonised national implementation across CEN members.

Key covered components:

  • Proportioners
  • Sprayers and nozzles
  • Branchpipes and branchpipe range tests
  • Semi‑subsurface hose units
  • Low/medium and high expansion foam generators
  • Foam chambers, pourers and vapour seals
  • Tanks and pressure vessels (for concentrates or solutions)

Note: Unless stated otherwise, pressures are gauge pressures expressed in bar. The standard does not necessarily ensure compatibility between different manufacturers’ components and does not cover pumps, motors or mechanical control functions (e.g., remote turrets).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Materials and construction: Requirements for metals, plastics, elastomers and reinforced resins; corrosion resistance and castings.
  • Mechanical and hydrostatic strength: Leak tests, mechanical strength and pressure vessel requirements (Annex A).
  • Durability tests: Ageing, liquid exposure, salt spray, stress‑corrosion and internal corrosion tests (Annexes B, C, L, M, N).
  • Performance characteristics: Discharge coefficients, flow and back‑pressure behaviour, foam quality from aspirating components, expansion ratios and area coverage (Annexes E, F, G, H, I, J).
  • Testing procedures: Normative test methods for each component class (Annexes A–K, with added Annexes L–N for corrosion/ageing).
  • Documentation and marking: Requirements for design data, user/installation manuals and characteristic data needed for correct application.
  • Conformity and type testing: Initial type testing, grouping, normal production checks and modification controls.

Applications and who uses this standard

EN 13565-1 is essential for professionals involved in the supply, design, testing and maintenance of fixed foam firefighting systems:

  • Manufacturers of foam proportioners, generators, sprayers, tanks and related components - for product design and type testing.
  • Testing laboratories - to perform the normative test methods and generate conformity evidence.
  • System designers and specifiers - to select compatible components and define performance criteria.
  • Fire protection consultants, installers and maintenance organisations - for installation guidance, documentation and periodic checks.
  • Authorities having jurisdiction and procurement teams - to set regulatory or contract requirements.

Related standards

  • EN 1568‑1 to EN 1568‑4 - foam concentrate performance
  • EN 13565‑2 - Design, construction and maintenance of fixed foam systems

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following

component within which air and foam solution are mixed to make foam
3.3
non-aspirating component
components which discharge a spray of foam solution so that mixing with air and formation of
foam takes place outside the component
3.4
proportioning component
component which controls the mixing of foam concentrate into a water flow, at a predetermined
ratio, to produce a foam solution
Note 1 to entry: Proportioning components are variously described as inline, bypass and round the pump
inductors, injectors, eductors, proportioners, venturis, constant and variable flow valves, orifice plates,
water powered foam pumps and displacement proportioners.

Die Norm EN 13565-1:2019+A1:2025 beschreibt umfassend die Anforderungen und Prüfmethoden für Komponenten fest installierter Schaumfeuerlöschsysteme. Ihr Geltungsbereich umfasst Materialien, Konstruktion und Leistung von Komponenten, die für den Einsatz in fest installierten Schaumfeuerlöschsystemen vorgesehen sind. Diese Systeme verwenden Schaumkonzentrate, die den Normen EN 1568-1 bis EN 1568-4 entsprechen. Die relevanten Komponenten, die in dieser Norm behandelt werden, sind unter anderem Proportionierer, Sprühanlagen, halbunterirdische Schlaucheinheiten, Abzweigstücke, Schaumgeneratoren mit niedriger/mittlerer und hoher Expansion, Schaumbehälter, Tanks und Druckbehälter. Ein wesentlicher Stärken dieser Norm ist die klare Definition der Anforderungen an die Bereitstellung der charakteristischen Daten, die für die korrekte Anwendung der Komponenten notwendig sind. Diese detaillierten Anforderungen fördern ein einheitliches und sicheres Vorgehen bei der Implementierung von Schaumfeuerlöschsystemen, was die Relevanz der Norm für Hersteller und Anwender unterstreicht. Die in den Anhängen A bis K ausgeführten Prüfmethoden gewährleisten, dass die Komponenten auf ihre Funktionalität und Effizienz getestet werden, um hohe Sicherheitsstandards zu sichern. Jedoch wird in der Norm ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen, dass die Anforderungen nicht die Nutzung von Kombinationen von Komponenten zur Bildung eines Teils oder des gesamten Feuerlöschsystems abdecken. Dies stellt sicher, dass jede Komponente spezifische, normenbasierte Vorgaben erfüllt, was die Qualitätskontrolle in der Branche unterstützt. Ein weiterer wichtiger Aspekt ist, dass die Norm darauf hinweist, dass Komponenten, die dieser Norm entsprechen, nicht notwendigerweise miteinander kompatibel sind. Dies ist entscheidend für die korrekte Planung und Installation von Schaumfeuerlöschsystemen. Zudem werden Pumpen, Motoren und die Funktionsweise mechanischer Komponenten (wie beispielsweise Fernsteuerungstürme) nicht abgedeckt, was den Fokus der Norm auf die spezifischen Komponenten und deren Leistung in fest installierten Schaumfeuerlöschsystemen lenkt. Insgesamt bietet die SIST EN 13565-1:2019+A1:2025 eine umfassende Grundlage für die Entwicklung und den Einsatz von Schaumfeuerlöschsystemen und ist somit von hoher Relevanz für die Brandschutzindustrie. Die klare Strukturierung der Anforderungen und Prüfmethoden trägt dazu bei, die Sicherheit und Effizienz dieser Systeme zu gewährleisten, was wiederum das Vertrauen in ihre Anwendung erhöht.
